Personally, I don't know how you can mix feature projects sitting that close to the speakers. My home studio has the speakers about 2 1/2 meters away from my listening position, but I would prefer it to be about 3 1/2 to 4 meters, even though the Sky System One speakers recommend 2-3 meters max. I have heard them in another studio at 4 meters and they sounded great, very theatrical. They can't reproduce the same upper volume levels, but in a small room 100dB feels like 105 anyway, so I don't care. Average mixing levels are well within the system's capability and it feels so much more representative of a larger dub stage when further away.
Hey Gary, any pictures of your home studio?
